But among voters who identified themselves as independents, Romney garnered 48 percent of the vote to Obama’s 38 percent.

Romney also has a 6-point lead among respondents who said they are “extremely likely” to vote in November.

In other good news for Republicans, the survey found that the GOP has taken a 45 percent to 43 percent lead on the generic congressional ballot, and 65 percent of respondents believe Republicans will continue to control the House after the election.

Democratic pollster Celinda Lake, who helped conduct the poll, said: “There are no fissures on either side, but you have the Democrats less enthusiastic than the Republicans.”

I myself am an Independent who in 2008 made the mistake of writing in for Ron Paul, thereby inadvertently helping Obama get elected. The only difference between a wise man and a fool is that a fool doesn't learn from his mistakes. This time I will be voting for Romney.

YES, most Americans still love America enough to uphold the Constitution rath...

The 0bama campaign is looking ineffective this time around. Each approach they've tried - the stupid pet trick, the attack on Ann Romney, the faux "War on Women", the fake "Limbaugh boycott" - has utterly failed and made 0bama out to be the fool he is.

New poll results are delivering positive news for Republicans, including one survey showing that presumptive GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney has opened up a double-digit lead over President Barack Obama among independent voters.

A Politico/George Washington University poll has Romney with a razor-thin lead over Obama among all likely voters, 48 percent to 47 percent. A similar poll in February had Obama ahead by 9 percentage points.

It would appear that old Mitt is gaining some steam, know can he close the deal and stay on one side of the fence. A key point being

Important: Do You Support Pres. Obama's Re-Election? Vote Here Now!

Wasn't it Reagan who granted the first amnesty group? Wasn't it Bush who was going to do it again? Obama is doing the same thing that's been done and Romney will do the same. I remember promises made by Obama that never were kept. I remember promises made by Bush that were never kept.

And Ron Paul actually wants to put the military on the border to protect us. What's Romney's immigration plan? He doesn't have one... http://tucsoncitizen.com/usa-...

Why are you a cheerleader for a foreign national with a fake birth certificate who usurped our nation's presidency, and who is trying to attract more job-stealing illegals here with amnesty, "free" healthcare and everything else, even college at taxpayer expense?

Tell me another reason besides that you hate America that sounds more believable. I don't think you can RATIONALLY and LOGICALLY do so.

Religion shouldn't matter, but if you want to go there: Mormonism makes as much sense as Scientology. Plus some Mormon sects are listing as terrorist organizations. Also polygamists make a practice out of child molestation. Should I lump one prominent man in with all his religion's craziest? See how ignorant that sounds?

Can you really tell what Romney is for? I haven't seen a plan for immigration. I've seen him flip-flop. Can you honestly say he has a better plan than Obama? Romney, the guy who invented Obamacare?

Romney has big problems. Note that he says nothing about Ron Paul tagging him. Ron Paul cannot overtake him in delegates, but Romney is hoping to get Ron Paul's followers in his camp when he is declared the nominee. To do that, he will have to be quiet now and cede to parts of Paul's platform and hope for his endorsement. Ron Paul is against everything Romney stands for, to do so would be hypocritical of him to suddenly want to lead his opponents to Romney. Paul will probably endorse Gary Johnson.

The more likely scenario is that many Ron Paul devotees will turn to Gary Johnson, the Libetarian candidate and also a far more likeable candidate than Willard. That would be great news for Team Obama. A recent poll asked voters to choose between Romney and Obama, 49% went with the president and 46% sided with his Republican opponent. But when Johnson was included in the poll, Obama led with 47%, Romney trailed at 42% and Johnson managed 6%. Johnson in all probability will get higher percentages in the general. He's a five-time Ironman triathlete. He paraglides and hot-gas balloons. (Not hot air, hot gas.) He biked across the Alps. Certain voters are attracted to that.

You like being the aggressor overseas? You like hunting terrorists in caves with billion dollar jet? Did you know the military supports Ron Paul more than any other candidate. You know why? THEY'D RATHER PROTECT THE BORDER!!!

You say social issues, I say 1st amendment rights.... Enjoy Romney and Income Taxes.

Most splintered into various GOP factions will galvanize behind Romney, whether they like him or not, for the simple reason that they like Obama's anti-American agendas a whole lot less. Will you? Or are you happy with Obama's anti-America schemes, such as trying to attract more job-stealing illegals here with amnesty, "free" healthcare and everything else, even college at taxpayer expense?

And please save yourself the embarrassment of again citing FALSE left-leaning Lamestream reports claiming ludicrously that Obama is deporting more illegals, etc., etc.For UN-BIASED accurate reports, go to NON-PARTISAN NumbersUSA and to ALIPAC.There you will learn, among other things, that Obama unconstitutionally issued 300,000 work permits to illegal aliens, and gave de facto amnesty by ordering that deportations be STOPPED.

tncdel, none of this is true, but you hang onto to it like a fly to sheet and post it every chance you get.........."trying to attract more job-stealing illegals here with amnesty, "free" healthcare and everything else, even college at taxpayer expense?"

There is no free college. No amnesty. Those with crimnal histories are being deported first. All illegals are entitled by law to a deportation hearing. That hearing can be anywhere from 6-12 weeks. Where should we house those 300 with no criminal history in the meantime? You have an extra bedroom?

Most independents gave Obama a chance and he blew it so they are voting for the next guy and hoping he will do better. Most of us truly wonder however if Romney is the best the Republicans have to offer is this country destined to go down the toilet. This is really a sad hold you nose vote!!!! I voted against Obama last time and will again this time, but Romney is a really poor choice to be sure.
